Water Pump

[CzarKJ]

I am going to replace my water pump due to p*ss poor heat. Any brand I should go with? Is this one of those MOPAR OR DIE things like the radiator?

I plan on following this.

P.S.
I'm on the end of a 14 hour hard shift so this may not be fully coherent. epper:

Ya wrong time of year to have a weak heating system.
Might as well do the hoses & Mopar thermostat too, if they have not been done in a while.
Here is a recent thread with worthy candidates for the new pump...

I put a Napa reman one in mine. 50k miles on it, seems fine, knock on wood!

Ok thanks! For the T-stat mopar? I did my hoses last year with my rad so those I will keep. Should have just overhauled it all at once but it again was winter and cold haha

mopar for t-stat.

gaskets w/ the t-stats don't come with a key for registration with the t-stat housing.

If you want that, felpro t-stat gasket from your LAP would have a key.

Yes the Mopar has air bleed hole (brass thing at 12 o'clock) 6817 4083 AA part #
The black outer ring is the gasket... so nothing else needed.
